DEJA VU:The Melanated Struggle

Spiritual hymns accompanied by Ama Ata Aidoo's 1987 "Cry Of Africa" Excerpt Deja vu Deja vu Eye think that eye've been here before with you Ah say Deja vu Deja vu It looks like you Story of my life Think we've been here before Maybe twice or thrice Eye don't even recall Yet still am not surprise Never learn my lesson, Live my life in circles Never really straight It goes round in spirals Ironic Cause eye thought eye had escaped Samsara Right before eye met you It's funny All is the mind But eye still cannot forget you Your essence Flows through eternity Comes back to me in every lifetime Peace That's exactly what eye need within The bliss Eye wanna feel it, so eye too can beam Imagine Since a kid, trying feel a thing You do not know and cannot touch But only can feel Deja vu Deja vu Eye think that eye've been here before with you Ah say Deja vu Deja vu It looks like you Deja vu Deja vu Eye think that eye've been here before with you Ah say Deja vu Deja vu It looks like you Mayday Mayday There's traffic on the freeway A choice of free will, But we can't seem to exercise it They unbuckle they pants Whip out they dick and then we ride it They open up they mouth Start chatting shit and then we buy it Repress our human rights, our livelihoods no longer private Suppress the internal light, our souls are always bleeding in silence Straight poison to the mind, when all that we consume is garbage A mental bondage, you not aware; that is causing damage Give em an inch Eye bet you, they will go beyond the mileage Can't put ma faith in the system, eye do not trust the mechanics Eye barely even trust myself, how can eye trust the mechanics Can't put my faith in the system, eye do not trust the mechanics Deja vu Deja vu Eye think that eye've been here before with you Ah say Deja vu Deja vu It looks like you Deja vu Deja vu Eye think that eye've been here before with you Ah say Deja vu Deja vu It looks like you Accompanied by Ama Ata Aidoo's 1987 "Cry Of Africa" Excerpt
